Thought he joined the A's for a minute.

No surprise Fox foolishly cut out most journalism in favor of videos

Thought he joined the A's for a minute.

My first thought as well

the best thing is the tweets from fox sports interns asking beat writers if there was any video they can use in their reports.

I've always liked Rosenthal. Best of luck to him in this role.

They let go hundreds of writers in the last year including many of their top MLB guys, so yes.

This sucks because I'm going to miss his writing. (Not paying to read sports articles online, no matter how good they are)

I hope Jayson Stark is next

I wonder who is NOT joining the Athletic. They are pretty much picking up every sports writer imaginable these days.

I'm not shocked given ESPN's massive cuts along with half of the news industry as well.

And now they add Peter Gammons.
